Are phenotypes what a trait looks like?

Question

or is it

a trait that will not be seen in the next generation of offspring

a trait that is hidden by another trait

what your chromosome say your features are

Answer 1

Yes.  The phenotype is the appearance, regardless of the gene combination behind the trait.

Some phenotypes will not appear in a F1 hybrid generation, some will, and some intermediate forms will appear (e.g. red + white --> pink).

Answer 2

phenotype is a physical makeup of an organism and genotype is genatic makeup.

Answer 3

The phenotype is what trait is expressed.

For example you carry the gene for black hair and brown hair in your chromosomes. B=black b=brown

Bb=genotype

Since black is the dominant gene than that means you will have black hair. Black hair is the phenotype. Phenotype is just what gene is expressed.
